Anti-globalist populists are winning elections worldwide by a two-to-one margin, leading to a wave of legal indictments against them by the establishment. Jones cites the rising cost of a McDonald's Big Mac, which has reportedly jumped to over $18 in some areas, as a "canary in the coal mine" for hyperinflation. He also notes Saudi Arabia's shift away from the Biden administration toward independent regional interests.

A news roundup covers Speaker Mike Johnson's stance on Ukraine and Israel, and reports of 120,000 sudden deaths among US children following the vaccine rollout. Jones mentions the death of actor Matthew Perry and reports on "inflationary" prices, such as $18 Big Macs and the Biden administration's oil policy involving Venezuela.
